The countries we visited between then and January 2008 -- Rwanda, Armenia, Germany, Bosnia, and Cambodia -- were chosen because they were all the sites of previous genocides and mass atrocity. At each relay, the torch was carried by survivors of genocide and their descendants." --Dream for Darfur.org

After more than five years of conflict that has left at least 200,000 people dead and more than 2.5 million people homeless, China continues to strengthen its relationship with the government of Sudan despite the government's record of mass atrocities in Darfur.
